STOVE-HOOD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 379,323, dated March13, 1888.

Application filed April 19, 1887.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ULRIoH B. NEWMAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Greenfield, in the county of Highland and State of Ohio,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stove-Hoods, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to a stove-hood adapted to be suspended over acooking-stove to receive the smoke, steam, and odor from the cooking andconvey it to the chimney to prevent the same from circulating throughthe house, it being in some cases very unpleasant and annoying. I attainthis object in the construction and arrangement of parts. as fullydescribed hereinafter, specifically pointed out in the claim, andillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is aperspective view of a cookingstove having my hood suspended properlythereover in the operative position. Fig. 2 is a detail section(vertical) through the hood. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the support.

Referring to the drawings by letter, A designates the funnel-shapedhood,. the base of which may be either round or elliptical, and B is asmall pipe having a screw or other detachable coupling to the upper endof the hood, the said pipe being adapted to connect with the smoke-pipeof the stove or directly with the chimney.

0 represents a support for the said hood,

comprising the parallel laterallyextending arms 0 c and the collar 0 onthe ends thereof, having ears 0 c provided with aligned perforations toreceive a set-screw, 0 The said collar is adapted to be placed aroundthe stovepipe or a similar vertical support, and the ears on the saidcollar are drawn together by means of the set screw to clasp the saidpipe tightly and support the hood. It will be seen that the collar willfit pipes of different sizes, and may be adjusted vertically at will.

Around the inner lower edge of the hood is formed a groove or gutter, D,adapted to collect all the moisture which condenses on the inner sidesof the hood, and G is a small tube leading from the lowest point of thesaid groove to convey the said condensed moisture to any convenient ordesired receptacle.

The hood is suspended, in the manner described, over the portion of thestove on which the cooking is done, and the fumes, steam, 850.,

rising therefrom will be received in the hood and conveyed to the flue,where it will escape, 5 5

the draft caused through the said hood by the smoke-flue also aiding indrawing all of the said fumes into the hood and up the chimney.

The steam passing through the hood is in part, at least, condensed uponthe sides of the same, and, gathering in drops, passes down the saidsides and into the groove around the lower edge thereof, from which itis conveyed,- as described, by the tube G to a suitable receptacle, theobject, as is obvious, being to prevent dripping on the stove, whichwould interfere with the cooking.

The conductor or hood, as described, will be found of great utility andvery effective in operation, conveying all smoke, fumes, &c.,

from the room, thus preventing the unpleasant odor of cooking frompermeating the house, as it invariably does when a device of a similarkind is not used; also, the device is very simple, and may be cheaplymanufactured,

being preferably made of sheet metal.

The screw-connection between the upper end of the hood and the pipe tocarry off the odor is novel, and will be found very convenient inattaching and detaching the said hood, 8c

thus enabling the same to be readily taken down when desired.

I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the preciseconstruction and arrangement of parts as herein described, as I mayalter the same somewhat without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

Having now described the construction, operation, and advantages of myinvention, I

claim- 0 In a stove-hood, the combination of the hood A, the pipe B,leading therefrom, the support 0, to be attached to the stove-pipe, thegroove D around the inner lower edge of the hood to collect the moisturecondensed on the 5 IOO
